Arnab Goswami `creates ruckus at T3 of Indira Gandhi Airport

Times Now Editor in Chief Arnab Goswami created a minor ruckus at Terminal 3 of Indira Gandhi International Airport last week, according to eyewitness reports.

The drama began when Arnab wanted to use the lounge restroom before his flight to UK. Unfortunately for him, a part of the building was under repair and there was only one functioning restroom in the entire lounge and that was occupied by some guy. Being the gentleman that Arnab is, he waited for nearly half an hour, before his patience took a break.

Waving a few magazines outside the restroom door, Arnab said “Mr restroom occupier, the documents in possession of Times Now show beyond doubt that you have been occupying this room for over half an hour or even more. Isn’t this an issue of impropriety? Is probity in public life simply a pebble that can be conveniently thrown over a random target? Isn’t this an issue of private gain over greater public good? Isn’t this an issue of meaningless shenanigans essayed over hapless public by restroom bourgeois”? “This is an issue of constipation,” replied the man, who was inside the restroom.

Outside the T3 lounge restroom

Arnab left and returned with a couple of cops and went “this man, ladies and gentleman, this man whose face is hidden by the very door that protects his privacy and who is today challenging the fundamentals of fair restroom usage is loose on our streets. Are you safe? What if your stomach suddenly turns into the monsoon session of Lok Sabha? Where will you go"? He then dialled socialite Suhel Seth and conferenced opinion lizard Shobha De alongside poet Javed Akhtar.

Suhel Seth commenced the proceedings by saying “This strategically illiterate Johnny sitting and mulling over his retirement plans is damaging the T3 story. Upto him, he will erect a statue of himself on the commode and drape it with his trademark arrogance; just to relish the inconvenience perpetrated by him on us taxpaying citizens”.

Shobha De on the other hand blamed the Indian education system for producing such ‘monstrosities’. “The man inside that restroom, is a typical example of what is wrong with our education system. We don’t produce civic minded citizens anymore. We just have a bunch of yellow journalists posing as book writers who attend all page three parties and apply generous amounts of botox to hide their facial contours,” she said.

Javed Akhtar meanwhile composed a couplet on the spot and recited it.

“Ye constipation hai ki hain naashaad sab;

Main akelaa hii nahiin barabaad sab

Daavaa-e-constipation par hain kis ko Yakeen,

Ham pe jo guzarii hai ham ko yaad sab”

Meanwhile the restroom door opened and none other than CNN-IBN editor-in-chief Rajdeep Sardesai walked out. A shocked Arnab said “It was you all along”? “Yeap it was me. I was applying coral oil on my hair and didn’t realize I was sitting here for almost an hour. I am sorry,” Rajdeep said. The two then headed off to catch their respective flights.

Nearby in a corner chair, a lady suddenly pulls the newspaper down to reveal her face – it was the notorious Barkha 'tsunami' Dutt eavesdropping in on the conversation between the two senior journos.

:D yeap Indu..this is an all in one... the spiritual aspect comes in when you plough deep and understand the symbolism portrayed here. Basically, Arnab represents the fragility of human ego and it is he who gets whipped at the end of each story..the moral is detach the ego to attain the next level of spiritual enlightenment...

Bangalore, according to our correspondent, is so dark during night that the sale of telescopes has shot up 160 percent in the city in the last two days alone. This is not to mention the mushrooming of many astronomy clubs in the city. With little light, the night sky appears bright with many constellations visible to the naked sky like never before and astronomy buffs are lapping it all up.

How did all this happen, you ask and here is the story. Bangalore is the only metro in India that has to bear over 5 powerless hours every single day. The situation is so bad that a few days back, a few Bangalore citizens promised to be more civic minded, if they were given more electricity and less powercuts.

"I admit the power situation has gone from grim to whatever is worse than grim. But I assure you, the situation will improve soon as we are negotiating purchase of 8000 MW of power from North Korea. Once this power arrives, powercuts will be history and I will be able to watch various …

A source close to Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has told Humor Unplugged that he may offer a reaction to the episode this weekend. It may be remembered that as soon as the case grabbed the headlines of prominent page 3 glossies like Times of India, journos more yellow than pakoras dipped in turmeric had thronged his residence on 7 Tear Avenue hoping the star would offer some
soundbites. The journos had to return disappointed as Aamir was away in Jodhpur crying over an incident of trespass over private property that happened a month ago.

The source, who doesn’t want his name to be exposed, said that Aamir will cry on Saturday as the star has entered a phase of depression. “He was crying this Wednesday and Thursday so he wanted to take a break over this weekend but saw an ad for a slipper and started wailing. But he became even more depressed as news came that Indrani had tried to bump of Sheena Bora’s brother too. He became really depressed and wanted to cry on Sunday itself but Ki…

In the latest blow to the much maligned F-35 program, engineers have uncovered a slew of flaws during extensive testing of the newest versions of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, a Pentagon report said, adding to a litany of issues including software bugs, technical glitches. But a source within the Pentagon speaking on condition partial anonymity, told us that US has now decided to finally take the project to completion that too in a manner that "you wouldn't have expected".

"US is offering F-35 fighters to nations that are less than friends such as China and Iran. I was part of a snack hour meeting yesterday where we decided to do this. F-35s would make the enemy more vulnerable in the air and we will exploit that vulnerability to our advantage. They are getting ready to offer it to everyone including Russia," said Bill, a Flight Systems Specialist at DARPA.

China, it may be remembered has its own 5th Gen jet copied from the F-35. In fact, China had approached L…
